I used to participate in the baking group Tuesday's with Dorie. I bring this post over from my old blog more for the cute story about my dog and the recipe review than any value in the recipe itself. Bridget of The Way the Cookie Crumbles had chosen the recipe for Lemon Cup Custard on page 387.
We
love lemon here so I was pretty excited about this recipe. Instead of
making individual custard cups I made it as a full pie and it was going
to have a whipped cream top (hubby's request). We both tasted it before
it went into the oven and thought there wasn't enough lemon flavor for
us and it was just too sweet. We like a really tart lemon. But, we were
anxiously waiting to see if the baking would enhance the lemon flavor.
Fortunately I took a picture as soon as it came out of the oven.
I
turned my back for 2 seconds while it was cooling and Gunner, our black
lab decided the custard shouldn't wait to cool, but be eaten
immediately. About the time I heard SPLAT it was too
late, the custard was face down on the kitchen floor and shortly
thereafter the dog was in the snow, his puppy dog eyes and wistful so
sorry looks didn't work on me (he was only in the snow long enough for me to clean up the
mess and cool off).
I did throw together a lemon Bundt cake with a
lemon butter cream frosting to replace it. I guess we'll never know if
more lemon flavor comes out as it bakes.
